This easy veg side dish was so great that I have to share it. Love those pre cut bags of butternut squash. Either bake in a 350 degree oven until fork tender or microwave as per package instructions. Toss with 1 cup rinsed, drained,chickpeas. Toss both squash and garbanzos with olive oil, curry powder and a wee bit of cayenne pepper. Add s&p. Taste as you go.
Optional side sauce:
1 small container plain yogurt,1 TBS fresh lemon juice, 1/3 cup chopped cilantro. Mix these 3 ingredients and serve as a side to the bean/squash mix.
TIP: If your market is out of butternut squash cubes, buy a yam. Peel it. Microwave until easily pierced with a fork. Cut into bite sized cubes;toss with beans and olive oil mix. Very good as well!
